We can't all get 100% of what we want 100% of the time, however, if you were to lower standards to like 70% at the most a lot of stuff will start opening up to you. Like this one time in Oasis I was in a group trying to get every I mean EVERY croc and it just couldn't happen and I have seen some crocodiles at like zoos before so I know some basic things about crocodiles; like you know how to tell the difference between crocodiles and alligators is that one you see after a while and the other you see later, but we didn't get 100% croc satisfaction and then a bard came through power leveling a group and they got pretty much 100% of the crocodile satisfaction from that point on plus everything else in the zone so I guess if you want 100% of everything you just have to roll a bard but I gotta say the mechanics are kind of messed up because I've tried running around singing in RL and it didn't heal anyone or hurt my enemies not even with a sweet lute. I think I might have run faster with some drums once though. Hey would it ruin EQ if every toon on the server was a bard? Think about it that would be weird but also perhaps we would be in perfect harmony ok so when the new server pops up they should only let people make bards is what I think about that

This thread shows how shitty the raiding is here

If i could be arsed ill think about the top 5 dumbest raid rulings to hit TMO/Forsaken/Aftermath. Theyre all as bad.
Im sure IB/Rampage/Awk folk can also come up with some equally absurd rulings.

Listen , if you want to enjoy p99 , you have to enjoy the quirky staff. 95% of what they do is A1 top notch job and an absolute necessity for a healthy server. The other 5% i think is just a case of lack of understanding coupled with Tall poppy syndrome and within reason can be tolerated.
Staff should probably take a back seat from being judge-jury-executioner to the raid scene though as they simply dont understand the nuance and minutiae of it all.

I think that the staff mostly understand how raiding works. The problem is more that you have staff in too many roles at once...there's just one role defined and that's "GM". Not enough segregation of duty.

There should be one staff member who liaises with players in various guilds and writes up the raid rules. And a different staff member (or a few, let's face it interpreting disputes is more work) to enforce those rules strictly as written. Much like how in government you separate out the administrative branch from the judicial.

Except pretty that would require a couple dozen or so honest members of our community with the intelligence and integrity to perform those duties. They don't exist.

We're lucky we have what we have the amount of honest GMs we do.

am I to understand that csg and lord bob are the only two options for casual dragonslaying at this time on p99

truly dark days if so

Dude , the idea of different branches of government not being coopted and corrupted by one another died when Al Gore invented the internet. Get woke mate before it gets shut down and u blame ur neighbour for no more MMORPGs.
